Forests, weather shocks and food security in developing countries The Climate Economics Chair has been instrumental in shaping both my research journey and personal growth. Academically, it has connected me with numerous dedicated researchers in the field of climate and environmental economics, enriching my understanding of various related topics. The Friday Lunch Meetings (FLM) have proven especially valuable by providing a platform to present my thesis work and receive insightful feedback. These events have also given me the opportunity to attend inspiring presentations. Furthermore, thanks to the Chair, I was able to present my research at several major conferences. On a personal level, the Chair has offered me a stimulating and supportive environment for conducting my thesis. The frequent opportunities to present my work and engage in academic events have been essential in developing my skills as a young researcher. Equipped with these enriching experiences, I approach the next stage of my professional journey with confidence and enthusiasm. |

Soybean trade and imported deforestation The Climate Economics Chair has played a decisive role in my research in many ways. Its financial support, through a half-scholarship for my thesis, was essential to successfully carry out my research. Additionally, the funding granted allowed me to participate in five conferences, both in France and abroad. It is also thanks to the Chair that I was able to obtain a grant for a research stay at the Joint Research Centre in Italy.The Chair also provided me with the opportunity to join a rich and diverse professional and academic network. Regular interactions with junior and senior researchers, particularly during internal seminars and annual events, have undoubtedly enriched my work and understanding of climate economics. Finally, the visibility offered by the Chair’s communication initiatives allowed me to showcase my work and reach a wider audience. |

Forest Cover and Weather Shocks: Land Use on the Quest For Adaptation and Conservation The Chair offers support to students of multiple backgrounds creating an interdisciplinary and multicultural environment. Such environment is essential to develop a open-mind approach to research, and has helped me to deepen my thesis topics from different perspectives. Moreover each of the CEC members is affiliated to different institutions. Such a fluid organisation helps also in creating a personal network and develop further working opportunities. For example, thanks to the CEC network, and fundings opportunities connected to it, I was able to pursue a research visiting at the University of British Columbia (Canada). Given this premises, the main advice that I’d give to new students would be the following: not to be afraid of sharing with your colleagues your experiences and work, or asking for help and support from your senior colleagues. They are there to help you succeeding! I’m sure that not only your academic path will be easier, but you’ll also develop life-lasting friendships. |
